Hi there! I'm a junior, and I have a few colleges that I'm extremely interested in. Is it possible to apply to more than one school through Early Decision? Thanks for your help!
Hello! It's great that you're already thinking about college applications as a junior. Early Decision (ED) is a binding commitment, meaning that if you're accepted, you agree to attend that school and withdraw any other applications you've submitted. Because of this, you can only apply to one school through Early Decision. However, you can apply to multiple schools through Early Action (EA), which is non-binding and allows you to consider multiple offers before making your final decision. Just make sure to check each school's specific policies, as some have restrictions on applying Early Action if you're also applying Early Decision elsewhere. Good luck with your college search and application process!
